Curt Gowdy quotes:

It wasn't like it is now. But for the types of teams we had, the fans were very good here. On some Thursday afternoon games, we'd get 25,000 fans. That was remarkable. This has always been a great Red Sox city.

Folks, this is perfect weather for today's game. Not a breath of air.

I tried to pretend that I was sitting in the stands with a buddy watching the game - poking him in the ribs when something exciting happened.

Brooks Robinson is not a fast man, but his arms and legs move very quickly.

Whether I caught fish or not, just the thrill of rolling out that line and watching my fly turn over has been good enough for me. That and the hundreds of treasured memories I have of this wonderful sport.

Genesee beer. The great outdoors in a glass.

An announcer is only as good as yesterday's performance.

I was never a 'homer', a broadcaster who cheers the home team. Some fans don't like that. But my job wasn't to cheer. My job was to broadcast the game.

I never took myself too seriously.
